My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! The knee pads will be used during practice and games, so the players can play safely. The volleyballs will be used in practice to build their skills and help them prepare for high school in the upcoming year.

The donations to this project will help to improve my students' understanding of and competency in authentic, meaningful writing.

By implementing the Digging Out The Competition, my students will begin to see themselves as true student athletes. We will use these materials to aide us in the process of becoming life-long volleyball players and teammates.
